Fixable viability dye efluor 780

Manufactured by BioLegend
Sourced in United States

Fixable Viability Dye eFluor 780 is a fluorescent dye that can be used to distinguish between live and dead cells in flow cytometry applications. It binds to proteins with amine groups, allowing it to permanently stain dead cells. The dye has an excitation maximum at 780 nm and an emission maximum at 810 nm, making it compatible with the common 785/805 nm laser and filter set.

For intracellular cytokine staining, cryopreserved PBMCs were stimulated with 10 μg/ml PPD (Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, Denmark) or phorbol myristate acetate and ionomycin (eBioscience) for 6 hours in the presence of anti-CD107a (BioLegend), brefeldin A and monensin (eBioscience). Cells were stained with various combinations of fluorochrome-labeled antibodies and Fixable Viability Dye eFluor 780 (purchased from BioLegend or eBioscience). All samples were acquired by LSRFortessa flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star).
Antibody abundance was quantitated by the ELISA. 384-well high binding plates (Corning) were coated with Mtb protein antigens (31 (link)) at 2 μg/ml, or PPD, BCG lysate, and Mtb lysate at 6 μg/ml. Serum samples (1:500 dilution) were incubated overnight at 4°C. Plates were washed, followed by the addition of recombinant Protein-G HRP and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Plates were washed and developed with SureBlue TMB Peroxidase Substrate (KPL Inc.) followed by 1N H2SO4. Optical densities (OD) were read at 450 nm and 570 nm. Antibody levels were calculated by (OD450 nm - OD570 nm) subtracted from control wells of antigen and HRP alone.

DC2.4 cells (4 × 104 cells) were cultured in 96-well plates for 12 h at 37°C. The cells were further incubated with 10 μM NRP-1 siRNA (5’-ctgctacttcacagtatggta-3’) and 0.4 μL Lipofectamine 3000 reagent (ThermoFisher) for 48 h at 37°C. Subsequently, the cells were collected and analyzed for NRP-1 expression and Dp1 binding using flow cytometry. NRP1 expression was evaluated using Fixable Viability Dye eFluor™ 780 and BV421-labelled anti-mouse CD304 (Neuropilin-1) antibody (BioLegend).

Flow cytometric analyses were used to determine the cell surface expression of ICs including, PD-1, TIM-3 and LAG-3, on T cell subsets in the absence of mAb treatment or following the single and combined blockade of PD-L1 and PD-1.
Cells were washed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and re-suspended in 100 µL of staining buffer (PBS with 2% FCS and 0.1% sodium azide). Cells were blocked with a human IgG1 antibody (Sigma-Aldrich) for 10 min on ice. To gate out dead cells, Fixable Viability Dye eFluor 780 (FVD780; BioLegend, California, USA) was utilized. For surface staining, cells were stained with anti-CD4-Alexa Fluro 700 (Clone RPA-T4, BD Pharmingen, California, USA), anti-CD25-Brilliant Violet 650 (Clone M-A251, BioLegend), anti-PD-1-Phycoerythrin/Texas Red (PE-Dazzle 594) (Clone EH12.2H7, BioLegend), anti-TIM-3-Brilliant Violet 711 (Clone 7D3; BD Biosciences, California, USA), and anti-LAG-3-Brilliant Violet 421 (Clone T47-530; BD Biosciences) for 30 min at 4 °C in the dark.

Quantifying Antigen-Specific CD8+ T Cell Killing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Antigen-specific CD8+ cells were stimulated for 7 days by peptide-pulsed moDCs mentioned above. Target T2 cells (expressing HLA-A2) were divided into 2 populations, labeled with 2 different intensities of CTV. CTVhi cells were pulsed with cognate peptides, while the CTVlo portion remained unpulsed. CTVhi and CTVlo cells were mixed at a 1:1 ratio before adding to effector cells. After harvesting the antigen-specific T cells, target T2 cells containing the 2 groups were added at various effector/target ratios and incubated for 8 hours. Cell density was adjusted to 10,000 cells/well in a 96-well plate. The results were obtained by flow cytometry, and the specific killing ability was calculated by the ratio of CTVhi to CTVlo cells. Fixable Viability Dye eFluor 780 was used for viability assay, and Apoptosis Detection Kit (BioLegend) was used to measure cisplatin-induced apoptosis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
